Kura -TVNZ Series

Congratulations to James Watson and Vince McMillan, winners of TVNZ’s New Blood Web Series Competition with their pilot, Kura……and we are proud to have done the casting.
More than 700 hopefuls entered and with 45.7% of the public vote, it was Kura that took out first place.

Kura’s creators, James and Vince, will receive $100,000 from TVNZ and NZ On Air to create a full web series to screen on TVNZ.co.nz.
NZ On Air Chief Executive Jane Wrightson says Kura is a great choice by the public because it authentically reflects a unique part of Aotearoa.

“New Blood has delivered up another fresh perspective from new storytellers. Kura has a look and feel you won’t find elsewhere; local stories should feel like our own, have a real NZ identity,” said Ms Wrightson.
